NordMin is established to connect stakeholders of the Nordic mining and mineral sector such as: industry, research, government and regions. The network will develop and showcase an increasingly sustainable Nordic mining and mineral industry with an impact on green growth in the Nordic countries and Europe.

The network should work as a platform for existing and future Nordic cooperation in the field and is developed in dialogue with the actors.
